INTRODUCTION 

To commemorate in picture and story, the Herculean 
task accomplished by the Army Transport Service in 
embarking our army for France — and bringing them back 
—I have collected the pictures published herein and 
compiled a brief history of the activities of those officers 
and men who were detailed here during the greatest of 
wars in the hope that it will help to keep up the enthu- 
siasm which has always been so pronounced, and to ce- 
ment the friendships here formed, that the dampening 
effects of time and failing memory cannot obliterate the 
record of this port or cause the members of the staff 
when widely separated to forget the names or faces of 
their comrades during the period spent here. 

There was no greater feat accomplished during the 
war than that of shipping nearly 2,000,000 soldiers to 
France and it is with pride that I shall long recall the 
work done here and the many true friends I made while 
a member of the command. 

In this volume there is to be found a picture of nearly 
every officer, field clerk, enlisted man, female clerk and 
civilian who served here during the war, together with 
a brief narrative of the task accomplished. To pro- 
cure the large number of pictures here published, I am 
indebted to William Metz, Underwood and Underwood, 
The International News Service, Western Newspaper 
Union, Hughes and Estabrook, and others who have 
assisted in securing photos for me. 

In closing allow me to voice an expression of my ap- 
preciation of the friendships formed here and the splen- 
did cooperation always accorded by all. It has been a 
source of great satisfaction to have known these men 
and I shall always hold the memories of my service at 
the Port of Embarkation as among the happiest of my 
life. 

King W. Sxell.

THE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF THE EMBAR- 
KATION SERVICE 

A Concise Report Covering the Shipment of Nearly 2,000,000 
Soldiers to France 

When President Wilson affixed his signature to the 
Declaration of War on Germany in April of 1 9 1 7, there 
immediately arose many problems of such magnitude con- 
cerning the preparations for an extended foreign cam- 
paign that it was difficult to conceive at once how and 
what the result would be. 

Not the least of these problems was the necessity of 
creating an adequate transport service for the carriage 
of troops and supplies to the Held of operations, for it is 
an obvious fact that foreign campaigns cannot be carried 
to a successful culmination without a sufficient force of 
men on the ground, and these at a time when they are 
needed. It was apparent that such a division of our 
service must be organized with the least possible delav 
and in such magnitude as to insure the transportation of 
fin army to France, comparable in force to those of the 
belligerent nations which fortunately had not to con- 
tend, with few exceptions, with the problem of shipping 
troops by sea, a matter of three thousand miles. It was 
a problem which overshadowed all other great problems 
of history; so great, in fact, that the successful culmina- 
tion of the transport service has been the wonder of the 
entire world, the Imperial German Empire included. It 
was a problem indeed, but American common sense, 
coupled with American money and American enterprise, 
saw it through to a finish, and we may now rest on the 
record, proud in the fact that America was the greatest 
factor in bringing the war to a close on the side of hu- 
manity and the principles which we have guarded so 
zealouslv since our birth as an independent nation back 
in 1776.

WITH THE ARMY AT H O B O K E X 

To the organization and development of an adequate 
transport service, Congress at once set itself to work de- 
vising plans for the time when the United States would 
have an army of men sufficient in size to be felt among 
the armies of the Allies on the firing line. The small but 
efficient regular army maintained in the United States and 
insular possessions was obviously the onlv troops then 
fitted to meet the exigencies of actual combat, but even 
with so small a force the existing transport service was 
all too limited to become a factor in the transportation 
of troops to the theatre of operations. 

Our state troops, a large majority of which had been 
through the Mexican Border campaign, added to the 
regular army, furnished a strong basis upon which to 
found and train an army for modern warfare, and a vig- 
orous movement was started toward the training of these 
troops for foreign service. A short time later the Selec- 
tive Draft machinery was placed in actual operation, thus 
furnishing several hundred thousand more men, un- 
trained it is true, but nevertheless an army, which, in 
view of the events of the last six months of the war, 
proved to be a strong factor in the settlement of interna- 
tional differences in France. At that time, however, the 
problem of shipping was still unsolved, and it was a 
question as to when ships could be provided to transport 
such a force to foreign soil. 

I speak of these features of our service in order to 
make plain by simple deduction the extent of the prep- 
aration which must be accomplished if we were to safeh 
land in Europe this army of a million or more men. It 
was not a pleasant outlook, with the shipping of the world 
effectuallv tied up with the transportation of supplies to 
the armies already in France, and the submarine warfare 
then at the apex of its despicable power menacing every 
ship which plied the high seas. 

To overcome these obstacles meant that the United 
States must at once create a transport fleet, man it with 
naval officers and seamen, and establish ports of embarka- 
tion with staffs competent to insure the least delay in the 

6 



WITH THE ARMY AT HOBO KEN 

shipment of troops. These, perhaps, were the most ob- 
stinate points to surmount, but the wealth of detail which 
arose in connection was in itself no small problem. 

By the time the first troops were ready for movement 
overseas, the department had a well-formulated plan 
for the organization of an efficient transportation sys- 
tem, the operation of which was somewhat changed in 
its essential details during the months following the first 
troop movement overseas. It was apparent from the be- 
ginning that a thoroughly organized office, operating on 
business principles and with a tangible end in view, must 
needs be placed in operation at once. 

To properly grasp the situation, it is necessary to turn 
back to the early days of the war when the Army Trans- 
port Service, Port of New York, was a branch of the 
Depot Quartermaster Office, Colonel John M. Carson, 
Q.M.C., holding the dual position of Depot Quarter- 
master and General Superintendent of the Army Trans- 
port Service. As assistants, Colonel Carson had Cap- 
tain (now Lieutenant Colonel) L. B. Cabell, Q.M.C., 
and Captain N. J. Shelton, U.S.A., Retired, who had the 
direct supervision of the Transportation Division. A 
small office force constituted the personnel, but it soon 
became apparent that radical changes and additions in 
strength were necessary in order to insure the success 
of the extensive plans already well worked out. 

With this end in view Captain W. B. Baker, U.S.A., 
Retired, and Captain Michael J. Powers, Q.M.C., both 
experienced in transportation problems, were ordered to 
active duty in this division and in June Major R. E. 
Shannon (now Lieutenant Colonel), Q.M.C., and Cap- 
tain Frank Bowman supplemented the personnel, which 
was literally swamped with the numberless details of 
making read for the extensive troop movement which 
it was expected would begin within a month. 

Later the office of the General Superintendent was 
separated from that of the Depot Quartermaster, with 
Colonel Carson remaining as General Superintendent. 
The changes which followed placed Major Shannon in

charge of the Transportation Division with Captains 
Shelton and Powers as assistants, and a force of five 
clerks. A further change was then made, placing Cap- 
tain J. F. Coggswell in charge of embarkation from 
Cunard Piers and Captain George W. Knight those of 
the International Mercantile Marine piers, both officers 
being under the jurisdiction of Captain Shelton. This 
plan of assigning certain officers over embarkation from 
particular piers proved its merit early in the year, the 
officers so assigned being able to gain a peculiar work- 
ing knowledge of the physical conditions and personnel 
at their respective piers. 

Shortly after this time Major General David C. 
Shanks was ordered to duty as Commanding General, 
Port of Embarkation, and remained in command during 
rhe heaviest movement of troops to France. General 
Shanks later took command of the newly formed 16th 
Division, being relieved by Brigadier General Wil- 
liam V. Judson, who was relieved temporarilv b\ 
Brigadier General George H. McManus, who is now 
in charge of the Troop Movement Office, the several 
officers under his jurisdiction having direct supervision 
of the embarkation and debarkation of troops from all 
ports under the jurisdiction of these headquarters. After 
the signing of the armistice Major General Shanks again 
assumed command, a position he now holds,, although he 
is temporarily in Europe in an official capacity. During 
General Shanks' absence Brigadier General P. W. Davi- 
son, executive officer, is in command. 

The first organization of the Army to sail overseas 
after the declaration of war by the United States was 
Base Hospital No. 4 (the Lakeside Hospital Unit of 
Cleveland, Ohio), which sailed on the S.S. "Orduna" of 
the Cunard Line on May 8, 191 7, with a personnel of 
34 officers, 1 56 enlisted men, 64 nurses and 4 civilians. 
This was closely followed by Base Hospital No. 5 (the 
Harvard Unit of Boston, Mass.) on the S.S. "Saxonia," 
Cunard Line, May 11, 1 9 1 7 ; Base Hospital No. 2 (the 
Presbyterian Hospital Unit of New York City) on the

of St. Louis, Mo.) on the American Line May 19, 191 7; 
Base Hospital No. 12 (the Northwestern University Unit 
of Chicago, 111.) on the S.S. "Mongolia" of the Amer- 
ican Line, May 19, 191 7. 

On May 28, 1917, Major General John J. Pershing, 
U.S.A., with his staff, sailed for overseas on the S.S. 
"Baltic" of the White Star Line, to take command of the 
first American Army. 

The first convoy carrying combatant troops left Hobo- 
ken on June 14, 1 917, with the following organizations:

With the exception of the "Finland" none of these ships 
had ever been used in the transatlantic trade, but were, 
with tli i s one exception, coastwise vessels that had been 
running from New York City to the West Indies, Gulf 
Coast and Mexican ports, and had been taken over by the 
Shipping Control Committee for use as Army transports. 
!n July, 1917, three Base Hospitals, six Railway Engi- 
neer Regiments and the 5th, 6th and 7th Regiments of 
Field Artillery and two detachmetns of the Aviation 
Section, Signal Corps were sent overseas. These were 
followed in August by various organizations of the Regu- 
lar Armv needed to complete the First Division. In 
September the first division of the National Guard be 
gan to move, being the 26th Division, comprised of troops 
from the New England States. The first unit of the for- 
mer National Guard regiments to move was the 101st In- 
fantry, which sailed on the U. S. C. T. "H. R. Mallory" 
on September 7, 1917. This Division was moving through 
September and part of October, together with a large 
number of Aviation Sections of the Signal Corps, and 
about the middle of October the 42nd Division (known 
as the Rainbow Division), composed of former National 
Guard troops from various parts of the United States, 
began to move. From that month until March. 191 8, 
there was a steady movement of Regular Army and Na- 
tional Guard Divisions ami various auxiliary organiza- 
tions without any great increase in the number trans- 
ported each month. On March 22, 191 8, the first di- 
vision, composed of National Army troops, began to move 
overseas, being the 77th Division, made up of drafted 
men from New York City. With the coming of warm 
weather the supply of ships was greatly augmented with 
consequent increase in the number of troops transported, 
and beginning with March every succeeding month up 
to and including Julv showed an increase in the number 

14

of troops transported over the figures for the previous 
month. During the months of May, June, July and 
August, 1 9 1 7, all troops sent overseas were forwarded 
via the Port of New York, but as the result of recom- 
mendations made by the Transportation Division through 
the General Superintendent and the Commanding Gen- 
eral, authority was secured for the use of such space as 
might be available on vessels sailing from Canada. On 
September 16, 191 7, the first embarkation of American 
troops from a foreign port of an ally took place. The 
rc>2nd Infantry, Field Hospital No. 2 and Ambulance 
Company No. 2 of the 26th Division being embarked 
mi the S.S. "Canada" of the White Star Dominion Line 
at Montreal, Quebec. Since that time Canadian ports 
have been used wherever space was available on pas- 
senger-carrving vessels, the ports of Halifax, N. S., and 
St. Johns, N. B., being used in winter when the St. 
Lawrence River is not navigable. On October 16, 191 7, 
the 3rd U. S. Cavalry, being the first troops sent from 
Philadelphia, Pa., for duty in Europe, were embarked 
on the S.S. "Cleveland." On December 24, 1917, the 
S.S. "Canada" of the White Star Dominion Line, which 
had carried the first troops from Montreal, also took 
the first troops that were embarked at Portland, Maine, 
for overseas service in this war. The organizations car- 
ried were the 4th Machine Gun Battalion; 2nd Trench 
Mortar Battery; and Evacuation Hospital No. 1. 

On April 13, 191 8, Boston, Mass., was used for the first 
time in this war as an embarkation point, the 153rd In- 
fantry Brigade Headquarters; the 306th Machine Gun 
Battalion being sent from that port on the S.S. "Karoa" 
of the Cunard Line. On May 26, 1918, the first embarka- 
tion took place at Baltimore, Md., the 303rd Engineers 
being embarked at that port on the S.S. "Ajax" of the 
Blue Funnel Line. All of the ports outside of New York 
City, other than Newport News, Va., still remain as sub- 
ports of the Port of Embarkation, Hoboken, N. J., and 
are governed by the Embarkation Regulations promul- 
gated by the Commanding General, Hoboken.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR TRANSPORT FLEET 

A statement of the facts relative to our transport re- 
sources at the beginning of the war showed two Govern- 
ment owned ships on the Atlantic coast which were 
equipped for the transportation of troops. These were 
the Army transports "Buford" and "Kilpatrick," both 
ships of moderate size. In the years prior to the war they 
had been used in the carriage of troops to the Canal Zone 
and U. S. Insular possessions and were consequently 
equipped to handle a limited number of men. 

This was the beginning of a transport fleet now num- 
bering over two hundred ships which are making regular 
trips across the Atlantic in the faithful furtherance of our 
plans to land an army of millions on the soil of the Allied 
nations, within the shortest possible time. It is true that 
by far the larger number of these ships were owned and 
operated by our Allies as commercial transports but the 
result obtained was the same as if the United States 
owned every one. 

The ships actually operated by us include about 
twenty former German vessels owned by German and 
Austrian interests, interned at various United States ports 
early in the war. When these were formally taken over 
by the Government together with the docks, piers and 
appliances of German companies it was found that many 
of them had been damaged by their crews to such an 
extent that several months were necessary to set them all 
in commission. For the most part these ships were placed 
in active service as troop ships during the months of 
August, September, October and November of 191 7 and 
with a few exceptions have since been employed as trans- 
ports. Such ships as were taken over from enemy owners 
were almost entirely used by the German interests as pas- 
senger carrying vessels and have since been fitted to carry 
large numbers of troops at each sailing. They have con- 
sequently contributed largely to the Army now in active- 
service in France. These ships are known as navy- 
manned transports and arc operated by the United States 
Navy as are also an equal number of American owned

ships chartered by the Government early in the war for 
use as transports. It is an interesting fact that the ex- 
German ships have been operated more economically and 
with a smaller personnel under the U. S. Navy than they 
were under the German flag, despite the reputed German 
efficiency. 

At the close of the war the Navy was operating forty- 
three (43) transnorts, all of them fitted as such and 
capable of carrying several thousand troops at each trip. 
Added to the Naval transports the Government has at its 
disposal one hundred and seventy-three (173) transat- 
lantic liners, owned and operated by Great Britain, 
France and Italy from ports in the United States. These 
vessels total over a million tons of shipping and made an 
enviable record in safely transporting troops to the sea- 
port cities of France, England and Italy. An idea of the 
efficiency of operation of the great fleet of transports can 
be gained from the fact that a total of nine hundred and 
thirty-six sailings to France and England have been made 
since the United States entered the war. Furthermore, 
troops have been carried on every one of these trips. 

In this connection it is interesting and highly satisfac- 
tory to know that the several former German and Aus- 
trian vessels, taken over by the Government at the begin- 
ning of the war have made a total of 198 voyages carrying- 
troops to Europe. As these vessels have been properly 
fitted out as transports and have a large troop capacity it 
can readily be seen that they have contributed largely to 
the splendid total of men "over there." 

MINIMUM OF ACCIDENTS 

It is a noteworthy fact that of the three hundred or 
more vessels used in the transportation of troops, less 
than 3 per cent, have been sunk and these with a minimum 
loss of life. In fact the entire loss of life at sea as the 
result of transports being sunk has been less than qoo, 
most of this number having perished in the "Tuscania" 
sinking several months ago when the facilities for effec- 
tively combatting U-boat activities were not in as high

state of efficiency as at the close of the war. In brief, the 
loss of shipping has been unusally small considering the 
number of trips made and the extraordinary efforts ex- 
pended by the enemy to destroy or cripple our transport 
fleet. The losses of transports during the war were as 
follows : 

"Tuscania" 

"Moldavia" 

"Dwinsk" 

"President Lincoln" 

"Covington" 

"Carpathia" 

"Justicia" 

"Otranto" 

"Antilles" 

"Aurania" 

"Audania" 

Of this number the "Covington" and "President Lin- 
coln" were formerly enemy owned vessels, the remaining 
number having been commercial or Allied transports 

THE EMBARKATION CAMPS 

No small amount of credit for the wonderful success 
of the Embarkation Service is due those in command of 
Camp Merritt, Camp Mills and Camp Upton through 
which practically the entire number of troops passed 
before they arrived at the piers. These camps were 
known as "Embarkation Camps" and offered a brief 
respite for men and officers prior to going overseas. At 
these camps men were equipped for overseas duty and 
made ready for the long voyage. Necessary records and 
passenger list were accomplished here and the men given 
an opportunity to "see New York" for a few hours before 
going to France. The commanding officers of these 
camps were experienced regular Army officers and their 
part in the successful work of transporting troops will go 
down in the archives of the War Department as note- 
worthy examples of true efficiency. Colonel J. A. Mar- 
mon, now assistant chief of staff at the Port of Embarka

tion, was in command of Camp Merritt during the busy 
months of the war and successfully arranged the passage 
through the Camp of upward of a million men. The 
other camps mentioned handled a somewhat smaller 
number, but with the same high degree of efficiency as 
characterized Camp Merritt. 

THE MEN WHO SHIPPED THEM OVER 

Owing to the strict secrecy in which the above activities 
were of necessity handled, little is known in the outside 
world of how and by whom the troops going overseas 
were taken care of, at the piers from which they em- 
barked. 

Now that the ban has been lifted, it is no longer a secret 
that the men who actually supervised the work, for the 
most part were officers who "grew up with the embarka 
tion service," the personnel at the close of hostilities 
being in most cases the same as at the beginning of the 
heavy troop movements. There were, of necessity, many 
different branches of service represented in this work of 
shipping troops. There was the Depot Quartermaster 
who placed rations aboard ships for use as a debarkation 
ration in France and England; the Transportation divi- 
sion which arranged the railroad schedules which 
brought troops to such camps as Merritt, Upton and 
Mills and from there direct to the piers where they were 
to embark; the personnel division under Major J. Perry 
Moore, and later Captain C. F. Itzen, which checked 
each man aboard the ship and ascertained if such men 
were properly represented by the necessary records; the 
Medical Corps, whose representatives examined each 
man physically before going aboard the ship to insure that 
no man or officer not physically fit for foreign service 
got on the ship; the Quartermaster division that directed 
the men to their proper gangplanks and positions on the 
ships; the mail and baggage divisions whose duties are 
obvious; and last but by no means least, the Chaplain's 
office whose men were always on hand to insure the little 
comforts and desires of the men. In this connection, I

wish to speak especially of Chaplain John T. Axton 
(Major U. S. A.), who as Port Chaplain directed the 
work of thirty-two separate and distinct welfare organi- 
zations from his headquarters at the Port of Embarkation. 
Chaplain Axton is not only a big man physically, but 
holds what is generally conceded to be the biggest job 
held by any chaplain in the entire United States Army. 
He is beloved by all, officers and men alike, and his good 
natured smile has cheered many a homesick boy as he 
embarked to go overseas. Perhaps one of the most inter- 
esting bits of Chaplain Axton's numerous duties was that 
of tying the knot which married many lovesick soldiers, 
marines and sailors before they embarked for France. It 
is an interesting fact that the chaplain's office has per- 
formed as high as thirty-five marriages in a single twenty- 
four hour day, frequently tying a half dozen couples at 
the same time. 

THE WELFARE WORKERS 

No story of the embarkation service would be complete 
without mention of the great service performed by the 
canteen service of the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the 
Knights of Columbus, Salvation Army and Jewish 
Welfare Board. These patriotic women and men were 
ever present when troops were being shipped and gave 
out in addition to good coffee, rolls, cigarettes and "safe 
arrival" cards, many words of good cheer to those who 
were going over to fight our battles. These workers were 
'Angels of Mercy" in the truest sense of the word and 
rendered service "over here" which was just as important 
as if they had been working in France. They did their 
bit with a vengeance and were always on the job with 
coffee and buns, many times hours before the average 
citizen had thought of getting up for the day. Their 
work will never be forgotten by those officers and men 
who worked side by side with them during the long 
months of the war when thousands of troops were being 
shipped daily.

THE SHIPPING CONTROL COMMITTEE 

PERHAPS one of the most potent factors in the suc- 
cessful shipment of the Army to France, was the 
service performed by the Shipping Control Com- 
mittee under P. S. A. Franklin, President of the 
International Mercantile Marine. Mr. Franklin or- 
ganized an office which not only obtained ships for the 
transportation of troops and supplies, but in many cases 
altered them to suit the needs of troop carriers. The 
Committee, which had in its membership, many big 
business men of the day, was organized early in the war 
and functioned efficiently and with invaluable service 
throughout the conflict. 

It was the Shipping Control Committee which first 
took over the giant "Leviathan," then the Hamburg- 
American "Vaterland" and many other ships after the 
German and Austrian crews had been removed by United 
States regulars of the 22nd Infantry and it was the same 
organization that arranged with owners the details of tak- 
ing over cargo carriers, scores of which were in serv- 
ice when the war came to a close. The service rendered 
by the Committee has been much too extensive to cover 
in this limited paragraph, but suffice to say that its work 
has been exceptionally valuable in the gigantic machine 
of troop shipping efficiency and among the great accom- 
plishments of the war. 

A high ranking Army Officer said recently of Mr. 
Franklin, "This gentleman, in my opinion, contributed 
more to the work incidental to the transportation of sol- 
diers to France than any other individual."

THE CRUISER AND TRANSPORT FORCE 

In passing, mention should made of the Cruiser and 
Transport Force, which actually transported with safety 
about forty per cent of the armv which reached France. 
Shortly after the beginning of the war this force was or- 
ganized as a branch of the Atlantic Fleet, and the record 
;t has made will ever be one of the most brilliant chapters 
of the war. 

Starting with a few vessels taken over from the enemy 
interests the navy now operates over one hundred ships, 
engaged in the carriage of troops from France. These 
include several large German ships which escaped intern- 
ment at the beginning of the war and which have laid idle 
at their Hamburg or Bremen piers during the conflict, 
among them the giant Imperator, Kaiserin Augusta Vic- 
toria and many others whose tonnage is making it possible 
for thousands of soldiers to get home at an early date. The 
navy is operating these ships economically and with an 
efficiency which is daily adding glory to the flag of the 
Cruiser and Transport Force. 

The relation of the officers and men of the Cruiser and 
Transport Force to the Army personnel detailed to duty 
in connection with the shipment of troops, has been one 
of earnest and willing cooperation — without which the 
Herculean feat of sending a large army to France would 
have been impossible. 

In this brief chapter dedicated to the Cruiser and 
Transport Force allow me to express an appreciation of 
Vice Admiral Gleaves, Commanding Officer, Cruiser and 
Transport Force, Captain Casey B. Morgan, Captain D. 
W. Blamier, Commander Gill and others whose ready as- 
sistance has contributed greatly to the remarkable record 
of troop shipments. 

After the signing of the armistice, the Cruiser and 
Transport Force was materially augmented with many 
large ships which are daily disgorging thousands of 
American soldiers on the soil of their native land. And 
when it is all over and every United States soldier has

been returned safely to God's country, fully ninety per 
cent of them will thank the navy for helping them on 
the last lap of their great adventure. 

THE SIGNING OF THE ARMISTICE 

Up to the day prior to the actual signing of the armis- 
tice, troop movements had continued. On that day sev- 
eral thousand soldiers had been placed aboard transports 
at Bush, New York and Hoboken piers in readiness for 
the big adventure. 

Despite this usual activity there was an indescribable 
something in the air which precluded the sailing of the 
men aboard ships in the harbor. No word had come from 
Washington, no order relative to an armistice had been 
received — yet everyone intuitively felt that the war was 
soon to be over. Perhaps it was the Austrian crash of a 
couple of days before, perhaps the false peace note of No- 
vember 9th, perhaps something else, but the fact that all 
men and officers at the port of embarkation sensed the im- 
pending downfall of the German empire was a truth in- 
deed, a truth so real and yet so undeveloped that its power 
placed all in a peculiar mental state which gave way un- 
der the stress of anxiety when orders came to debark all 
combatant troops and send them back to the camps from 
whence they came. Later on that night direct informa- 
tion of the armistice was received and the next morning 
at eleven the momentous event took place. 

The day was one long to be remembered. Every har- 
bor boat whistle shrieked at the top of its voice! Over 
in Brooklyn, New York, Staten Island and in Jersey, 
sirens and factory bells added their full strength to the 
joyous din; transports lying at the piers ordered their 
bands out; in fact everything and everyone possessed of 
the power to make a noise, however feeble, joined in the 
joyful jazz. Discordant though it was the ensemble 
seemed to merge into one great croon of delight over the

impending days of peace and happiness which were soon 
to spread over the world. 

So far as was practicable, all officers, field clerks and 
other personnel were allowed the afternoon off, that they 
might add their bit to the great demonstration which was 
even then taking place, seemingly a monstrous hangover 
from the false peace of two days before. 

GETTING THEM BACK 

The next day the reconstruction period began. Wash- 
ington issued orders right and left covering the various 
phases of the work at the port. Hoboken literally 
changed overnight from the greatest jumping off place 
of American soldiers to the greatest landing point. New 
regulations were drawn up, new guard orders issue;!. 
The general order of events as we have known them were 
entirely reversed in readiness for the big return of ship 
ments. 

On December 2, 19 18, just twenty-two days from the 
signing of the armistice, the first returning troops reached 
America on the S.S. "Mauretania." Everyone cut loose 
again and honored the returning troops, even though 
practically all those on the ship had never been nearer 
the firing line than England, some of them having spent 
but thirteen days in that country. Everything was en- 
thusiasm, delight and happiness yet those of us who had 
fought the war at Hoboken could not but feel that a 
corking good war had been literally drawn from under 
us. 

Since that date the line of returning troopships has 
increased with each week until at the present time nearly 
three hundred thousand men are returning monthly. In 
time they will all be back, but until such time Hoboken 
will remain as a United States Government port and con- 
tinue to efficiently discharge the gigantic tasks which is 
only the ending of the job of jobs which she undertook 
early in the war.

THE HOBOKEN FRONT 

While it is a source of deep regret to have done your 
fighting in the United States, it may be here stated that 
in fully ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, the officers and 
men who were detailed for embarkation service would 
much rather have taken their chances among their 
brothers in the trenches of Flanders. In fact, so many 
applications for overseas service were made by officers 
at Hoboken, that an official order from headquarters was 
necessary to put a stop to it. 

To many ill-informed people our service was mediocre 
—and it was — if bullets and machine guns and cannons 
and battlefields and many other sides of actual combat 
concert to make a war, but to one who makes an intelli- 
gent analysis of the conflict it is clear that this war could 
be likened to a great spectacle in which all the armies 
with their millions of soldiers were the players, each 
assigned his part, and in this great drama the Port of 
Embarkation cannot but be assigned to a principal role. 

Especially critical has been the public in relation to 
the officers of the Staff Corps assigned here for duty and 
in answer it is my desire to pay a tribute to the Quarter 
master, A. G. O., Medical and other Staff Officers as- 
signed to this port. A great many of these were men who, 
in civil life were prominent in business, science and let- 
ters, and who through their particular executive ability 
were commissioned in the staff. With few exceptions the 
men so commissioned and detailed for duty here are gen- 
tlemen whom I have considered it an honor to know and 
of whom I shall always retain pleasant recollections. 
They did their work well and efficiently as the records 
in Washington eloquently attest, and if they lacked in 
some of the elements of military training it failed to 
detract from their efficiency at this port. A well known 
regular army officer once paid a tribute to officers of the 
staff in the following words: "To the man behind the 
desk, who, being away from the excitement of battle, is 
usually denied popular favor, yet who clothes, feeds, pays, 
shelters, transports and otherwise looks after the man 

38 



WITH THE ARMY AT HOBOKEN 

behind the gun, whose health, comfort, contentment and 
success often depend on the less spectacular though no 
less important work of 'The man behind the desk.' ' That 
quotation briefly tells the story of the staff officers and 
everv fair minded man will concur in tribute. 

It was very much against their wishes to be "in- 
terned" in the United States when their friends were real- 
ly in the big show over in France, but those who served 
at the greatest port of embarkation, may well be proud 
of the record of their office; and although they will have 
little of the glamour and excitement of real warfare to 
tell their grandchildren in the vears to come, they can 
speak up without shame and say, "I was one of those 
who helped to ship them over in 1917-1918 and bring 
them back when the war was won." 

THE FIRST TROOPS TO GO 

Among those who witnessed the embarkation of the first 
troops from the Port of New York after the Declaration 
of War in 1917, was Lieutenant A. Riedell, Jr., Q. M. C, 
who has written the following excellent story concerning 
that historic movement. Lieutenant Riedell is still a 
member of this command and consequently knows where- 
of he speaks. 

"Philosophers have said that the wise man is the one 
who can change his mind when lie finds that he has made 
a mistake. 

"In a castle in Amcrongen, Holland, there's a man who 
has changed his mind about a lot of things lately- He 
has found that he made a number of serious mistakes— 
that things didn't turn out quite the way he expected them 
to. He's changed his mind about most everything, but 
that doesn't prove that he is a wise man. 

"For example, Kaiser William thought that the United 
States would not go into the war. He thought that we 
did not have an army and that we could not raise one. 
Then, again, he thought that if we did raise an army, we 
could not get it across the seas and through his line of 
pirate submarines.

"This is the story of that army that we raised, and of the 
men who saw to it that that army arrived in France. 

"William had said that we wouldn'tdare todeclare war, 
but on April 6, 1917, war was declared. That same day 
the German Imperial Government felt our first blow, 
lying at Hoboken, New Jersey, were the interned ships 
that had been built by Germany against that 'Day' when 
those ships would carry millions of troops to British 
shores. Had they been successful there, those same ships 
would have set their courses for America, to land the 
grav uniformed Prussians in America. There was the 
great Vaterland built by Germany to transport 12,000 
tioops. German plans now in the possession of our Gov- 
ernment show that these troops would have slept in relays 
of 8,000 — working four shifts while at sea. Other ships, 
the Neckar, Von Steuben, Martha Washington, George 
Washington, President Lincoln, Prinz Eitel Friederich, 
Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse lay interned in American 
ports. 

"Within a few hours after the word of war had been 
Mashed from Washington, a detachment of troops had left 
the Headquarters of the Department of the East at Gov- 
ernor's Island to take over these vessels. The great docks 
of the Hamburg-American Line, the Norde Deutsche 
Lloyde at Hoboken had always been a hotbed of sedition 
and of Prussianism. The interned German sailors, idle 
on their ships, had led plots against this country. But a 
few hours changed all this. The German crews were 
seized as enemy aliens, and shipped to Ellis Island, 
whence they were taken, as prisoners of war, to a Southern 
camp. Officers inspecting the ships found that, in the 
attempt to prevent us from using their vessels they had 
practically wrecked the ships. Boilers were smashed, 
tubes salted. Feed lines were changed about — the vast 
complicated machinery was apparently hopelessly dis- 
torted. A few hours more and the greatest engineers of 
the countrv were at work on these same engines, trans- 
forming them, and in many cases so improving them by

the alterations that they were able to make better speed 
than under their German command. 

"Within two months these ships were ready to sail for 
Germany, bearing the first convoy of American troops 
abroad. 

"The story of the A. E. F. and the convoying of over 
2,000,000 men to Europe is the story of another and a 
greater crusade than that of Richard Coeur de Leon or 
his Knights who went Eastward to the Holy Land five 
hundred years ago. It is the story of a crusade of democ- 
racy — a crusade that will stand as the greatest in history. 
But back of the story of the 2,000,000 fighters, back of 
the transports and the convoying destroyers, is the story 
of the men who put them through. There is little of the 
glamour of war here, and little of the music and the 
cheers. But there is a great romance, the romance that we 
find in every great work well done. It is routine, endless 
labor, reports, papers and drudgery — but without it the 
fine organization and the fine work of the A. E. F. fighters 
would have been impossible. 

"The first step in the organization of the Port of Debar- 
kation forces was on Saturday, June 9, 191 7. On this day, 
Colonel Carson, Captain Cabell, Captain Shelton, Cap- 
tain Powers, Captain Ruddell and Mr. Frank Czieslik 
came to Hoboken to make arrangements for the first 
convoy- It was a new job, and a big job. No one quite 
knew what the work would be, or how it would be done. 
There was just one motto — 'Do it. 1 Early in the after- 
noon the detail came over on a tug and landed at Pier No. 
1, beginning work immediately. Almost simultaneously 
the first of the troops arrived. Hoboken, a few days 
before the first German city in America, became a great 
army camp. Khaki-clad regulars overran the town. 
Veterans of the Border, the Filipino campaigns and the 
da\s in Cuba oiled their Springfields and talked of the 
big scrap that was coming 'over there.' In their summer 
O. D., their now old fashioned campaign hats, their trim 
leggins and sharp regulation appearance, they bore little 
resemblance to the newly equipped men who later

came through the Port. They were sent at once into rest 
billets to prepare for the voyage. There were the men 
of the 1 6th, 1 8th, 26th and 28th Infantry Regiments of the 
Regular Army. Their Senior Officer was Major General 
Siebert who has since established the record of his fight- 
ing forces. 

"Along River Street, where the old Bock beer signs of 
the German occupation still marked the Deutsche Gar- 
tens and Kursaals, tramped the men of San Antonio and 
the Rio Grande. Fat German saloonkeepers and the 
fraus and frauleins looked askance at this new invasion. 
Their Kaiser had said that America would never enter 
the war — that troops would never sail the seas; and now, 
only a few weeks after our declaration of hostilities, an 
army was in motion. Something was wrong in the firm 
of 'Me and Gott.' At first the men were held in their 
troops trains at the Jersey City yards, but they were soon 
brought into town. So silently and so efficiently was the 
work done that few of the millions across the river knew 
that the Eastward tide of American soldiers had begun. 

"ft was a new game, and the rules were not yet made. 
There was just one order of the day — 'get the troops on.' 
Alongside the dock of the Hamburg Americkaner Line 
lay the transports. Jamming the gangway, burdened 
with overseas gear, strange new weapons and accoutre- 
ments, tired after their long trans-continental ride on hot 
troop trains, the regulars arrived. They were shoved into 
below deck compartments, berths were hastily assigned 
and with the out-tide the vessels put to sea. 

"There was none of the glamour and the glory of war 
in their going. No crowds lined the Battery Sea and no 
bands and Citizen's Committees sped them on their way. 
These men were the Regulars — the U. S. A. — they were 
fighting men, and they were going to fight. Silently the 
big transports were warped out of their docks, and silently 
they put to sea. Perhaps along the Staten Island Hills 
home-coming commuters wondered as the big gray ships

slipped through the Narrows to sea. No doubt the tug- 
boat captains wondered as a line of lightless ships dropped 
down the long causeway of Ambrose Channel and put off 
their pilots at the lightship. Perhaps the next morning, 
far at sea, the off-shore fishing boats drew up their nets 
to watch as the great convoy, guarded bv destroyers, came 
up over the western rim of the sea. 

"But back in the city none knew of their going. The 
6,000,000 people of New York little guessed that Amer- 
ica's job of smashing the Imperial Government of Ger- 
many had already begun. 

"Possibly that's the waythatthebestwork in their world 
is done, after all is said and over with. It isn't the cheer- 
ing or the bands and street parades that win a war — it 
isn't the songs, or the martial music or the waving of flags 
in club windows — it's just the silent, steady relentless 
drive of men who are determined that when they have 
begun a job they will finish that job or die. 

"That was the spirit of the American soldier. He had 
begun a dirty job and he was going to see it through: he 
wasn't going to yell, or cheer or boast — he was going t) 
settle down to the job, and stay with it till the job was 
finished. 

"And perhaps, too, that has been the spirit of the men of 
the Port of Debarkation, who, for two years, have stuck by 
the job of getting the troops across. There were jobs that 
had more glory, and jobs that got more praise. There was 
fun and excitement and the job of battle to those who 
fought along the Flanders line, but behind them stood the 
array of communications the men who kept the railheads 
going forward, the troop trains moving on. 

"This is the story of the first convoy. They are the men 
who began the job, and those who came after finished it. 
And now that the war is over and the men are coming 
home — it's the Port of Debarkation — but the job is just 
the same. Names mav come and names may go, but the 
work goes on forever."

A TRIBUTE FROM THE PRESS 

After the signing of the Armistice the censorship on 
pictures and news relating to the activities at the Port of 
Embarkation was lifted, and many are the excellent news 
stories which have appeared in the public prints concern- 
ing this port since that date. Lack, of space prohibits the 
publication of these fine tributes, but with a view to giv- 
ing a general idea of the excellence of some of them, 
the following is reprinted from the New York Evening 
World. This story was also published in The Literary 
Digest of March. 

"SILVER STRIPERS" WON WAR IN HOBOKEN BY 

SENDING OVER TWO MILLION FIGHTERS TO 

BEND AND BREAK THE HINDENBURG LINE 



Boys With Gold Chevrons May Laugh, But Men op- 
Embarkation Service, Unsung and Undecorated, 
Performed Marvels and Earned Right To 
Be Acclaimed War Heroes. 

From the New York Evening World. 

Oh, we're only silver-stripers, 
And we never fought at Wipers, 
And we never heard the roaring of the guns; 
With a desk and phone and chair 
We couldn't win the Croix de Guerre, 
But we shipped two million men to beat the Huns. 
— Songs of the Swivel Chair. 

The boys with the golden chevrons give them the laugh 
-these officers and men who go about sporting the color- 
less silver stripes. 

They think they're "bunk" heroes, rocking-chair sol- 
diers, too proud to fight— and a lot of other things. 

Over in Hoboken these silver stripers abound, most of 
them officers and practically all physically fit for service 
overseas. All but few of them wear three chevrons 
(silver) denoting a year ami a half in service.

W I T H THE ARMY AT HOBOKEN 

They are the men of Uncle Sam's Embarkation Serv- 
ice, unsung, uncheered and undecorated. 

When the men of the A. E. F. were winning undying 
glory at the Marne, Chateau-Thierry, St. Mihiel and the 
Argonne, these silver-stripers were interned on the Hobo- 
ken shores. 

Instead of kicking holes in the Hindenburg Line, they 
were home manipulating troop trains, ships and men, 
often working twenty-four hours a day in order to keep 
unbroken the khaki stream that flowed eastward to the 
coast of France. 

The war record of the Embarkation Service is some- 
thing one seldom hears about. The names of its members 
seldom got into the papers, they never killed Germans, no 
brilliant war medals dangled from their obscure bosoms 
—and they wore silver chevrons. 

Now what romance can one possibly attach to a silver 
chevron? 

Answer: None whatever. 

However, the achievements of this invisible and unsung 
armv are slowdy winning recognition and approval in 
Washington. 

Recognition From the Secretary of War 

The first sign of this came a few 7 days ago when Secre- 
tary of War Baker announced that Major Gen. David C. 
Shanks, commanding officer of the Port of Embarkation, 
had been awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. 

The official citation readied the Port of Embarkation 

or debarkation, as it is now called — in Hoboken last 
night. It read as follows: 

Major Gen. D. C. Shanks, U. S. A., is awarded the 
Distinguished Service Medal for especially meritorious 
and conspicuous service in the administration of the Port 
of Embarkation, Hoboken, N. J., in connection with the 
shipment of troops overseas. 

The Evening World learned today from a reliable 
source that other decorations will soon be filtering

through from Washington in the general direction of 
Hoboken. A wireless runner to this effect had reached 
the Embarkation Service vesterdav, but no one could be 
found who would admit that he knew where it came from. 

The men of the Embarkation Service, from Major Gen. 
Shanks and Brigadier Gen. McManus down to the sol- 
diers who guard the gates to the piers, are slow to admit 
that they have played a great part in the war, but they 
cheerfully admit that they got no nearer the fighting front 
than the gangway of a transport. 

"The work had to be done by somebody, I suppose," 
said Captain King W. Snell, aide to Gen. McManus, who 
is troop movement officer. "Otherwise the 1,705.41 r 
officers, men and nurses shipped to France bv the Em- 
barkation Service might still be waiting for transporta- 
tion. But hell, who wants to be interned in Hoboken 
when the main show is three or four thousand miles away? 
It was like standing outside the big tent and punching 
tickets to a three-ringed circus. We worked like dogs and 
never got a chance to see the main performance." 

This attitude would probably be found to be that of 
the 2,400 officers and 24,000 enlisted men engaged in the 
Embarkation Service. 

They are all glad to have been able to do their bit, but 
most of them look at their silver chevrons and feel that 
they've been cheated out of something. 

Some of the Figures of a Proud Record 

During the entire period of embarkation from May, 
1 91 7, to November, 19 18, the average number of Amer- 
ican soldiers placed daily on French soil was 3,500. 

In a single day — the last day of August, 1918 — 46,214- 
doughboys were shipped out of the Port of New York. 
This is claimed as the world's record for a single day's 
shipment of troops. 

The figures for the previous month, July, are held by 
the Port of Embarkation Service to constitute another 
world's record in troop transportation. In this month

WITH THE ARMY AT H O B O K E N 

268,1 17 officers and men were put aboard vessels and sent 
overseas by the Embarkation Service. 

This was the highest number reached during the period 
of the war. The number of men shipped to France had 
steadily increased from May, iq 1 7, when the figures for 
the month were only r, ^43. 

It required 936 sailings to transport a sufficient number 
of troops to France to win the war. These sailings were 
carried out by 307 vessels, 108 of them being naval, 182 
commercial and" 17 Allied transports. 

At the Port of Embarkation in Hoboken it is declared 
that the work of fitting these vessels out as transports was 
done entirely by the army instead of by the navy, as has 
been generally believed. 

The Embarkation Service points with pride to the work 
done by the army in building up a transport fleet. 

Major Gen. Shanks has served as commanding officer 
of the port of embarkation practically through the war. 
The officers who have served with him and with Brigadier 
Gen. McManus are men who have grown up with the 
Embarkaion Service, the personnel having changed verv 
little since the declaration of the war. 

Brigadier Gen. McManus and Col. John Robertson 
are heads of the Troop Movement Office of the port of 
embarkation, under them being thirty line officers, sev- 
eral of whom are West Point graduates. 

The same efficiency that marked the shipment of the 
A. E. F. overseas is characterizing its return. Three hun- 
dred thousand doughboys have already been landed from 
"over there.'" 

The smoothness and rapidity with which the debarka- 
tion officers work were demonstrated a few days ago when 
the naval transport Leviathan docked in Hoboken with 
12,500 troops and equipment. 

Tn less than three hours after this giant liner tied up 
there wasn't a doughboy or scrap of equipment in sight. 
The entire outfit had been entrained and was on its way 
to camp.
